Well, it's official...Brenden's first baseball season started tonight!!!! We're very excited about this new adventure in our life. Anyone that knows our family well knows that baseball is a big part of our life. It is one of Bobby's favorite sports and it's probably the only sport that Brooke can get into! ;)
Well, since birth, it has been a passion for Brenden. He has LOVED every aspect of baseball since he was tiny. When he used to throw things at us we would say...hopefully one day he'll put that arm to good use playing ball and make us some money in the process! Ha! Once he started walking he was eager to "play" baseball whenever we would let him. He would play catch with Bobby at home. Run the bases with Papa at his house. Watch rerun games on DVR no matter what time of year. It has been a constant in our life for 4 years now!
We knew that the day would come when we would sign him up to play in a local little league and honestly, we were both eager to see that day arrive. He has such a love for this sport that it's actually nice that he's finally old enough to play some "real baseball."
Tonight was his first practice and we're both very proud of how well it went. We won't lie and say that he's the best on the team...shoot he wasn't even 2nd best. However, he was probably the most eager out there! He leaned against the fence at one point punching his glove saying "I can do this! I can do this!" He was PUMPED about this opportunity and that make us so happy!
Coach Brad was also great with him which is refreshing as well because we didn't mind stepping back and letting him take over with any guidance, discipline, encouragement, etc.
It was a GREAT night and we're hoping it's just the start to a GREAT season. We know that Brenden has A LOT to learn about the sport and we're eager to watch him grow this season. However, we also know that you can't teach passion and so we're excited to watch him getting to do something that he loves so much at least twice a week!
I mean look at this face...

too stinkin' cute...do I even need to say it?? I want to PINCH those cheeks!
That's awesome. You're right....you can't teach passion. I can't wait to see the Expos play the Red Sox.
So glad to see all the practice of running bases in the nursery classes is gonna pay off. I remember when he was in the 1 year old room and we would say batter up and he would get ready. Can't wait to come out and watch him play!
